I know this post is going to stir up plenty of controversy, especially amongst the oatmeal connoisseur type. I must admit, having tasted every oatmeal known to mankind and space invaders, Quaker Oatmeal reigns supreme. Fuck your Irish oats and that Whole Foods shit.
I know many of you suggest the evil industrialists at Quaker make their oatmeal from 100% plastic or chicken. I don’t care. The texture of the oats are simply better. I find no need to add sugar or milk with Quaker. I can eat it like a horse, as God intended.
While your opinions on this important matter may be noted, they are most certainly NOT appreciated.

I agree, but I like to make mine with milk instead of water
Heartattack for breakfast.
?
Drizzle real maple syrup on the maple variety.
Delicious.
Made with water, add a little bit of maple syrup.
only kind i ever grew up with.brown sugar and butter.
Brown sugar, butter, apples, raisins, walnuts.
Old-Fashioned style, right??
original, yes
Original is the only path to true oaty enlightenment. Original rules………with occasional nuts and fruits thrown in. Original is also best for making home made granola type junk with bark and roots and stuff in it.
So you’re a sugar whore. Big deal. So is everyone else. The only thing that tastes better is the sugar. Your taste buds are useless with it.
you gotta have the sugar and an banana on top otherwise you may as well be a fucking horse eating that shit.
Oh yeah. Sugar, bananas, brown sugar, butter, apples, raisins, walnuts.
And pizza. Pizza oatmeal. And Chocolate. And croissants. And Gyros.
You add pizza to your oatmeal?! WTF
Never actually eaten it. But I did find this:

There is no sugar in original, you trollop.
You eat the original oats without the sugar?? I stand corrected. New respect for the Fly.
Fuck oats.
The packaging, at least the packaging they use here in Australia is very so so, Fly.
I have Quaker’s too, but I really think they ought to use that oiled plastic shit that Kellogs uses for its products like corn flakes.
The idea of oats hitting thin cardboard isn’t enthralling.
Quaker Quick, or Quaker Traditional? I prefer the Quick.
And agree with Moober, it has to be made with milk…skim will do.
instant
On Friday mornings in the fall, before going surf fishing, add a dash of Drambuie…get the weekend started right.
Sorry I’m on a vegetarian/juice fast. Anything sounds good right now
Bulk food aisle, extra thick rolled oats. They always hold their consistency, as I find most anything else will devolve into a gelatinous mass after cooking. The only oat I eat…and, like you, I eat them every day.
Though I do agree, Quaker is the best of the pre-packaged brands.
Sorry, I prefer Apple Jacks with large quantities of sugar.
Oats are for animals.
I am a lion.
Ever try eggs and meat instead?
Bacon and eggs on buttered toast. That’s how all my weekends begin.
Actually, recent research has discovered that eggs and bacon (not sausage) are not nearly as bad for you as once thought.
All of my grandparents grew up and thrived all their lives on what would be termed a DEADLY FAT RICH DIET in today’s culture.
Their ages at time of death were 78, 84, 90 and 92. So much for fat free, high fiber diets as a prerequisite for a long and healthy life.
I can remember many breakfasts over a gramp and gramma’s house watching gramps dredge a couple slices of bread through the bacon grease left in the pan, fry it a little then slather it with butter and syrup before chowing it down.
I think the telling difference to be truthful though is that after doing so, gramp would go out and do heavy manual work on the farm for 6 hours or so before eating again.
1 large spoon of buckwheat honey stuffed in the middle is also a good way to eat ’em.
Mr Ed.
agreud!!
Buckwheat honey has all manner of good for you stuff in it.
I do Quaker. Though apparently the more nattrrill way which is higher in fibre is the big chunkier oats you get from the likes of Whole Foods. Thats the way you’d eat them if it was 1868. Good year that.
I also add dried fruit and nuts in the mix when cooking them. Do it. It’s a bowl full of Yay!
Moobs adds pepperoni pizza to his morning oats.
And cheeseburgers. And gyros. God I love gyros. And ice cream. And french bread with butter. Any nice crusty bread.
#juicefastdelusions
I eat quaker oats because it’s quick. Gotta put some other shit in with it though. Fruit of some kind, cinnamon, etc.
Fly … give up “Oatmeal” … and switch to … Oat Bran !!!
—
Your body will thank you !
Research it … you’ll see !
.
Fuck you.
… whatev …
.
I think he’s warming up to you.
… the benefits of Oat Bran over “Oatmeal” are indisputable !
One need only do some reading !
Just sayin’ !!!
.
I like a good oatmeal controversy.
If I am going to have oatmeal I would just as soon have a bowl of cheese grits no instant) and maybe shrimp and grits for dinner with some fried green tomatoes.
Can’t do that with oatmeal.
On the other hand, everyone calm down.
No sardines for lunch.
Who eats instant grits? I see them in the supermarkets up here, but I never see anyone buying them.
There is one amazing thing about oats: if you don’t finish them in the morning they are good with cream and brown sugar (or maple syrup) cold in the afternoon.
that’s disgusting
It really is terrific.
Disgusting is a breakfast of bacon, eggs and buttered toast left until cold and consumed in the afternoon with cream and sugar…..
I use my morning bowl of oats to put out my camel no filter just before I ravage my plate of bacon and pound of hash browns, horses are for riding not emulating.
Nearly pissed myself reading that one..lol
yeah Calgary represent.
Yeah!
What, no eggs?
Steel cut only!
Steel cut takes about 40 minutes to cook.
If you have any other questions about our bulk selection, please feel free to ask.
I did that and worked out with weights for three years ending March 2010. Now I’m not working out but I am enjoying life much more with a couple of pieces of toast, one with butter and the other with peanut butter.
Kirkland (COSTCO) makes boss oats.
Grits
Fly, Why do you like wooden bowls so much?
If I could venture a guess.
It reminds Fly of his childhood when the family would head over to Grandpa Fly’s house for a Sunday afternoon meal of Eggplant Rollatini and Linguine Filetto di Pomodoro- all served in wooden bowls.
Speaking of real eye-talian food, I was watching Bourdain in Naples while waiting for Irene to wallop us. He ate in a house where the momma made ragout with bracciole and some pork ribs. Wow!. I cleaned out the meat in the freezer and made some with chicken (dark meat only). Cooked it all day Sunday. Holey moley mamma mia, it was incredibly good. The dish is now on the regular rotation. Good stuff, and easy to make.
I also like to watch Bourdain.
I would like to see him and Paula Deen in a boxing ring sometime.
Indeud.
Paula would rip off his manhood
Oats everyday for me, old fashioned and not boiled too much either. My grandfather told me, when I was about 10, he said, “Buddy, you have to eat your oats EVERY day. I have eaten oats every day of my life.” I said, “Grandpa, every day??!?! Even when you were a boy in Norway?” He said, “Yes, every day. But when we could not get oats we ate rice.”
I wish I’d have asked him about rice in Norway.
Instant 1-minute Oats or Traditional 5-minute?
Instant “oats” are not oatmeal.
Then what the fuck are they?
The stress brought on by the market will more than negate the benefits of a high fiber diet however I do commend your recent efforts to cut out caffeine, EtOH, and Staten Island as much as possible.
You all sound like dieting chicks. Oatmeal this, oatmeal that. Man up and eat a fucking steak! It’s better to live 30 years like a lion than 300 as a scavenger.
Treu that
Although not a big oatmeal fan, my wife makes it (with goji berries, craisins, and sometimes crushed nuts) for her and the boys. I’ll occasionally have a small bowl alongside my eggs, toast, meat, and tall glass of milk.
I can eat as much oatmeal as I can stomach at 6 AM, and I’m still left cranky and starving by mid-morning. Not so with a hearty breakfast.
Try Country Choice Organic Oven Toasted Oats “old fashioned” style. The best oats ever…eating a bowl right now. Buy at your local TJ’s opening soon: 2385 Richmond Ave, Staten Island.
Rinse it down with an Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Natural Whey Protein shake.
Perfect combo for your P90X plan. How’s that going by the way?
I often get oats from the bulk bin at the discount grocery. half price of less than Quacker and just as good really.
blue berries in oatmeal, makes a natural sweetner, and tastes good
Trying to grow some here. Having problems finding good stock. I think I need to go talk to the neighbors and get some cuttings.
On a health note: Fat woman comes into pharmacy looking for a ‘natural organic’ way to treat her diabetes.
I suggest mayonaise made with organic eggs.
Tilo is right. Nothing is better than steel cut oats from the bulk section of the health food store. I eat them all the time. Low glycemic index. High fiber. Taste good. I eat them plain with no sugar or milk.
Sugar is awful for you. See url below. And as you are well aware, Fly, Quaker Oats are from a big food corporation. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were made from plastic or cardboard, with some kind of artificial oat flavor added. Here’s the toxic sugar article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/17/magazine/mag-17Sugar-t.html?pagewanted=all
as for the markets this fan is specifically designed to hit the shit.
Quaker Oats is the cheap shit. McCann’s Steel cut oatmeal is the better choice.
Quick Quaker oats are good, but nothing beats the flavour of McCann’s. That stuff is stupidly expensive but once you try it you can’t go back to ordinary local oats that the plebs eat.
McCann’s Quick Oats are better than the steel cut, less crunchy. The rollers have little ridges on them that cut through the husks so they cook a lot faster.
Gives me agita.
Steel cut oats are wonderful but do not take care of the need for protein. I eat steak or chicken with them every morning, and at every other meal too. People need protein to function– to be physically strong and to think straight. Vegetarianism may work for a few folks. But maybe it doesn’t work for anyone and they’re just weak and kidding themselves.
Think straight eh?
Yes, Noodle, have you noticed that some folks commenting on this site think crooked? They could use some of that grass fed beef that Fly eats– and probably less sugar and less alcohol. Then their thinking would become less crooked.
This morning I just had blue berry waffles ($15) at my local upscale cafe, and my thinking is straight as a arrow. But I did have a ridiculously large rib eye (grass fed) for dinner last night. vegetarians compensate for missing protein with disgusting things like nutritional yeast, and TVP. yuck.
What a stupid market today.
The Village People ate Quaker Oats every morning.
that is why they live in the village …
WTF are oatmeals ???
Upgrade to Rolled Oats – 2 minutes instead of one, and even better.
Honey, Walnuts, dash of cinnamon, and water.
If you got it, hint of fresh nutmeg.
Manufic!
As a fellow frequent oatmeal eater, I must concur that Quaker is superior to others. I usually add a scoop of vanilla whey protein to mine.
In other news………this will be interesting to watch.

I like the quaker instant oatmeal. Just add hot water, breakfast made in 10 seconds.
This is the funniest shit I’ve read all week. I think we’re all slap happy in this market.
For the record I love Original Quaker Oats baked, dries em out a bit then milk and brown sugar.
Can skip lunch after a breakfast like that.
